Rahul Gandhi on 25 August addressed a public rally in Ladakh's Kargil area and called it a strategic location. The Congress leader also spoke about how PM Modi has been is lying about the China issue. He added, “...Ladakh is a strategic location...One thing is very clear China has taken away India's land..." “It is sad that the PM in the opposition meeting said that not even an inch of Ladakh has been taken by China.

This is a lie." He further added that Ladakh doesn’t have scarcity of solar energy, and the people of BJP know this. “This is a matter of land and they want to take away your land," he said in his address at a public rally. During his rally he also spoke about the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir which he said was an aim was to stand against hatred and violence spread by BJP-RSS in the country.

“The message that came out of the Yatra was-'nafrat ke bazaar mein hum mohabbat ki dukaan kholne nikle hain'. In the last few days, I got to see this myself. At the time of the Yatra, I could not visit Ladakh due to snow in winter.

It was in my heart to conduct the yatra in Ladakh and I took it forward this time on a motorbike," he said. Earlier on 20 August, the Congress MP had targeted Modi over the Indo-China border row. Gandhi told the media that he met local people in the union territory and they told him that China had taken some control over Indian territory.
